BAL 3368, reprint C (arbitrary order), variant with the ads on pp. [158] & [159], rather than [159] and [160]. An unauthorized edition with material not otherwise printed until 1878 and 1883. Belford attempted to end copyright practices which he saw working against Canadian publishers, but his Twain piracies never had that effect.
